I'm afraid to drink alcohol until I know what's going on with my liver -- though I know I'll still do so anyway when I go to NYC as it's the once time a year I drink a bit. At least I'm having my ultrasound done before departure.

I am severely addicted to massive amounts of sunflower seeds that I eat every day . I eat the kind in the shell that is roasted and salted . I have slightly low blood pressure so my doctor says as long as that and my kidney function is OK its not a problem . Its a whole lot of salt but I will have a hard time not eating them when the day comes I cant .

I have low BP also, always have. When I was in the hospital, it got down to 75/40. I have also been told I should eat a lot of salt, I really don't, but when I get labs, my sodium level is always a little low.

It is so Good, first time I've tried it. Its even thicker than the greek yogurt. I can only find it at Whole Foods here. It's $2.19 so a bit more than Dannon Oikos, but so worth it. This is the blueberry which is my fave flavor of yogurt, but I bought the coconut to try also.

however, my money is on the Ranstead Room, 2013 Ranstead Street -- the elitist speakeasy with no sign on the door or even a web site though there's always yelp, entrance through a back alley... gritty, urban. You know the drill. And you can also sneak through the kitchen of El Rey if you're in good with the help. I'm going with the Tamarind Margarita
